The array of Western Australian flowers, trees and shrubs at this fantastic botanic garden ranges from ancient cycads to the Gija Jumulu boab (a type of baobab tree), a 750-year-old relic that was transplanted from the Kimberley region nearly 2,000 miles north. Plant species are grouped into themed areas; visit the banksia garden between July and October to witness a riot of wildflowers. Aboriginal culture and history left their mark throughout the rest of this large urban park, and thrice-daily tours provide interpretation.
